Direct Marketing – These Four Things Will Make Your Direct Marketing Successful

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

These Four Things Will Make Your Direct Marketing Successful

2005 Al Lautenslager

Direct marketing is built on four things. The other way to look at it is that when you think direct marketing is not working only one of four things can be wrong. Lets look at each.

1.The Target This is who you are sending your marketing to. The target is your list and the list is your market. These are the people most interested in what you have to say, what you have to offer and what you have to sell. These are interested prospects, hopefully, that will want what you have to sell. If this group does not want or need what you have then your target needs changed. Your target does not represent your market in this case.

When working with list brokers, you can specify what your ideal target, ideal client or market should be. This is where most people think of demographics. How big a company is, what the income is or sales level is, where they are located, their age, their family size, etc. All of this defines your target and the tighter the definition of your target, the higher the probability of success.

TO-DO: Write out the description of your ideal client. Contact list brokers and see how many of these there are. Make sure to specify geographical areas. Determine the cost of such a list. Buy the list and start mailing to it over and over and over on a frequent, consistent basis.

2.The Vehicle This is what you are sending to your list. In the world of direct mail its pretty simple: A letter, A postcard, A catalog or a three dimensional package. Professional companies like letters. People that are on the run, multi-tasker entrepreneurs may prefer postcards. C-level officers buying high ticket items may prefer a package. Consider this when determining your direct marketing campaign budget and base it on what you think your target market will want.

3.The Message This component of direct marketing is what you are saying to your market; to your audience; to your list. This is also where you develop and communicate the offer that you are seeking a response to. Your job with the message is to communicate benefit oriented information and advantages that will motivate the prospect to take some type of action. The action might be a sale, a phone call, a visit or a web-site visit.

Think of a coupon. That is a response mechanism. The prospect sees the value and product offering on the coupon and visits a place of business and redeems it, all conforming to benefit communication and motivation to action.

4.Frequency So many times people try direct marketing and give up because of low response. They typically give up before giving the campaign enough time to work. We are inundated with marketing messages everyday, therefore it takes repetition and consistency of delivering that message to match up with timing and desire to the point where the prospect will take action.

The rule of thumb is 6-8 times will create the top of mind awareness in the mind of your prospect so that they think of you, your product or service when their need or want arises.

Marketing – Postcard Marketing Tips for Real Estate Agents

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

>

If you’ve been practicing real estate for any length of time, you’ve encountered postcard marketing in some form or fashion.

Real estate agents use postcard marketing (also known as direct mail marketing) for a number of reasons. Among other things, postcards are cost-effective, versatile and targeted.

But the purpose of this article is not to tell you why you should use postcards to market your services. The purpose of this article is to address the “how” of postcard marketing.

To be exact, this article will show you how to use postcards to outperform the competition and increase your ROI. Now that I’ve made a huge promise to you, let me deliver the goods:

Step 1 — Identify Your Audience
When creating your postcard message, start by identifying your audience. This is a critical step because the rest of the process depends on it. To identify your core audience, you simply have to ask yourself a series of questions.

Here’s an example of how your Q&A might go:

1. What area do I want to represent? Happy Town, Vermont.

2. Am I focusing on buyers or sellers? Buyers.

3. Any particular type of buyer? First-time buyers.

4. Where might I find them? Apartments. Perhaps living with relatives in the area.

5. What’s important to them? Learning about the home-buying process.

6. What else is important to them? Finding an agent they’re comfortable with.

Step 2 — Create Your Audience Statement
When your list is complete, you should be able to combine the answers into a paragraph. This paragraph is your audience statement, and it will help you set your postcard marketing objectives (Step 3).

Here’s what the audience statement might look like from the example above:

“I want to reach people looking to buy their first home in Happy Town, Vermont. Being first-time buyers, they probably live in nearby apartments or with relatives (so I should send my postcards to homes and apartments in my farm area). These people will want to learn about the home-buying process in order to feel more comfortable with it.”

You’re probably starting to see the value of an audience statement. In fact, you might even have ideas popping up on how to connect with such an audience. And that leads us to our next step…

Step 3 — Determine Your Objective
Now that you know your audience, you can set the objective for your postcard marketing campaign. Ask yourself, “What do I want to happen as a result of sending my postcards?”

Here’s the key to this step. Don’t ask your postcards to do more than they’re capable of doing. For example, don’t use postcards to try and convince recipients that you offer superior service. That’s a common mistake, and it’s too much to ask of an 8″x5″ piece of card stock.

“Superior service” cannot be conveyed through a postcard. It can only be conveyed through a working relationship.

So let’s scale back the objective until we find something that (A) gives the postcard a more realistic task, (B) follows a more natural sales progression, and (C) capitalizes on known consumer behavior.

Let’s use our postcards to generate a response from recipients.

Now that’s something a postcard can handle — especially if you create a compelling message with a strong offer. And since we know from statistics that most consumers end up choosing the first real estate agent they contact, we’re capitalizing on known consumer behavior.

Following our first-time buyers example, maybe we will promote a free home-buying seminar to generate interest and response. After all, anyone can benefit from a home-buying seminar — but especially those who’ve never bought a house before.

Step 4 — Conduct Your Mailing
This step will vary depending on your audience and your objective. But you’ve done the most important parts already. You’ve determined your audience. You’ve identified what it is you want your audience to do. And you even have some ideas on how to motivate them in that direction.

Continuing our first-time buyers example, this step might involve sending a postcard that promotes a free home-buying seminar.

Step 5 — Evaluate Your Response Rates
Make sure you have some way to track the responses you get back from each mailing. This will allow you to compare one postcard message to another to see which one performs better.

In the first-time buyer example, this could be as simple as tracking the number of RSVPs, or asking people in the seminar how they heard about it. Record the number of people who attend the seminar as a direct result of the postcard, and you’ve measured your response rate.

Armed with this information, you can experiment with other versions of the postcard to see which one performs or “pulls” the best.

Conclusion
There you have it — a structured and logical approach to postcard marketing. Identify your audience. Create your audience statement. Determine your objective. Conduct your mailing. Evaluate the response. Five easy steps!

And here’s a step that will follow automatically — succeed.
